Engineer.

I build robots, and the agents that drive them — from servo gaits and ROS stacks to on-device ML and voice-first AI.

About / Operator

Portrait of Jovian Dsouza
CAM-01 · operator

I'm an engineer who has spent the last few years shipping production systems — on-device ML for Galaxy flagships at Samsung R&D, and high-stakes backend infrastructure at Okto.

My roots are in robotics: ROS navigation and manipulation, drones, a hand-built 3D printer, and ESP32 hardware. Now I'm going all-in on physical AI — robots that learn in simulation and act in the real world.

I win hackathons by shipping the whole stack: hardware, firmware, agents and the UI on top.
